Period movies based in the 1800s are often forced to make up in extravagant costumes what they lack in thrilling adventure and plot. Few send their characters across continents or dare to push conventional damsel-in-distress archetypes like director Franà §ois Girard's latest visual masterpiece, Silk,"" does. With collaborations from the artistic staff of ""Pride and Prejudice,"" ""Silk"" breathes new life into a tired genre.
hybrid_bus: Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and UW Chancellor John Wiley announced Wed. their plans for five new hybrid buses.
It wasn't exactly the prettiest of ways to start a season 2-0, but it's better to have an unsatisfying 2-0 record than an unsatisfying 0-2 record - ala Michigan.
UW-Madison's Roman Catholic Foundation student group sued the university again Monday, claiming administrators violated a previous settlement and continue to oust the group for its religious nature.
An accident on the Beltline Wednesday killed one, injured two and shut down the highway for more than two hours, police said.
With National Football League players showing more and more often that they can't read the league memo on image and decorum, the sport is turning to a player who could someday be an ambassador for the game.
Before coming aboard to direct himself, Scott Frank's script for the ""The Lookout"" was courted by the likes of Sam Mendes, David Fincher and Michael Mann. Watching the film, it's little wonder why. ""The Lookout"" is a rare thriller for adults—the kind of film that knows carefully drawn characters are far more thrilling than car chases. In a time when one need only turn to the closest multiplex to see that the thriller is a dying genre, ""The Lookout"" breathes new life into the heist film, giving audiences characters they can care about and making the body count count.
I want to live in an '80s teen movie. When I was little, I always figured that, at some point during high school, I'd sew my own prom dress. That didn't happen. Instead, I just wore store-bought ones, and I felt cheated. Slammed. Hurt by the fact that I couldn't be as pretty in pink as Molly Ringwald. Plus, there was no James Spader. And that's a tragedy.
I'm no lightweight, but when I drink, I black out like Paris Hilton after pressing the record button. It's just how I react to alcohol, regardless of how much I have.
While most of today's romantic comedy endeavors seem eager to prove the dwindling existence of great love stories, some of them still manage to bring a very accomplished feeling of warmth to the hearts of an audience. ""Music and Lyrics"" is one of those movies.
John Keats famously wrote, A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."" Ali Selim seems to have taken these words to heart in his first feature film, ""Sweet Land."" Set in 1920s rural Minnesota, the film is a study in beauty, wearing its nostalgia on its sepia-toned sleeve. All the elements are there: rustic baseball games, an old victrola pouring waltzes over the corn fields, midnight walks beneath the aurora borealis and a local priest who quotes""well""Keats of course. It's unfortunate that in a film of almost painterly beauty, Selim's narrative should plod along at such a glacial pace, making for a viewing experience that, appropriately enough, is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
With five games remaining in the regular season, the UW men's basketball team is still in a first place tie with No. 2 Ohio State. Here is The Daily Cardinal's weekly report on the Badgers:
In case you've been living under a rock, Wednesday is Valentine's Day. People I know tend to have widely varying views of Valentine's Day that are rather correlated to their relationship status: Those with a partner enjoy the chance to celebrate their affection, while those without often curse all of the couples around them.
A distant cousin to ""Sleepless in Seattle,"" ""Catch and Release"" is one of those new and different romantic comedies that takes the genre to a level of unknown territory. Actually, it's quite difficult to classify this movie as a romantic comedy at all. If anything, it's somewhat of a romantic tragedy, focusing on the aftermath of death, the importance of friendship and the everlasting search for the truth.
Wake up and smell the dinner reservations. It's almost Valentine's Day. And who really cares if you've got a date or not, because with Valentine's Day comes the regime of everybody's favorite film genre: the romantic comedy. And when movies like ""The Notebook"" and ""When Harry Met Sally..."" are in charge, everybody wins.
NASA had a good week. It isn't often that any government agency or private corporation reveals two potentially landmark events in the same year, let alone the same week.
This winter, live in a storybook for an hour as you glide on the snow trails behind a horse-drawn sleigh. Or take a mini vacation to a bed and breakfast tucked away in the woods to escape everyday realities. Whatever your fancy, treat yourself to a taste of the winter wonderfulness that Wisconsin has to offer.
Over the last five years or so, iPods have been quietly sneaking their way into our list of mainstream necessities. It would be utterly impossible to walk from Humanities to Van Hise (hell, probably Vilas and Grainger) between classes without passing at least 20 people with those unmistakable white buds in their ears. And, like the television or the toaster, we now take our iPods for granted—as if they've always been around and always will be. This may be true, but Microsoft is doing everything it can to assure this will change. Tuesday, Nov. 14, Microsoft is unveiling their answer to the iPod problem: the Zune.
Their father gives two Moroccan children a .270-caliber rifle to go hunt jackals. Once alone on the nearby cliffs, the youngest shoots at a tour bus, seriously wounding an American woman (Cate Blanchett). The nearest hospital is four hours away, so the bus detours to a remote village where her husband (Brad Pitt) begs for aid from the U.S. Embassy. This incident provides the narrative center of Alejandro GonzA¡lez IAA¡rritu's ""Babel.""
I have a rough life. As ""the food guy,"" I'm constantly offered free food, hounded to taste a yummy cake and bribed with delicious treats. But when it comes to relationships, cramming your face doesn't exactly make them come running. But why should I change who I am for some girl?
